Was the 93 all-star game the best in the history of the league? I'd say so. It was the first time since 1979 that neither Magic or Larry Bird had been selected to the game, and with new comers such as Shawn Kemp, Shaq, and Larry Johnson, there was a feeling of transition coming into the game. What stood out to me though was there were 8 players from the Dream Team, and we've all heard how competitive those pick up games. Combine that with players who felt like they should have been on that team (Shaq) and players who should have been there, not just felt like they belonged (Isiah), and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why this was a great contest. Now some will say the 88 contest (no defense at all, especially for that era), the 2001 game (only really great in last quarter), or the 2003 game (too much of a focus on Jordan) were better, but I'm sticking with the 93 game as being the best ASG of all-time. What's yours?
